IT executive changes in August 2026 reflect a period of transition across several major technology companies. New leaders at Sourcepass, Jitterbit, Domino Data Lab, Aerospike, and Avaya mark the month’s most significant shifts in the channel. Taking those spots, respectively, were Marcus Holloway, Mark Logan, Thomas Robinson, Don Dama, and Jeff Clarke.
New Leadership at Major Tech Firms
Marcus Holloway became CEO of Sourcepass in August, succeeding company founder Chuck Canton. Canton moved into the role of executive chairman. The New York-based company—a 2026 CRN MSP 500 honoree—hired Holloway after a career that includes leading MTM Technologies as president and CEO through MTM’s 2020 sale to ATSG. Holloway’s resume includes founding FlashRate in 2013 and leading the mobile marketing platform as CEO.
Mark Logan started in August as Jitterbit’s new president and CEO. He succeeded Bill Connor, who moved to a board of directors position.

Domino Data Lab promoted Thomas Robinson to the CEO role in August. He succeeded co-founder Nick Elprin, who now leads Domino’s product and engineering organization as chief product officer, president and chairman of the board.
